BS. She selectively narrows in and out of phrases to suit her agenda. I can just imagine her moral climb if a bloke Journo made the same comment
When those with whom she verbally spars construe her statements literally she implies they need to relax and recognize her underlying jovial intent. Yet when it suites her she does the complete opposite; e.g during one of his interviews a few days ago, Sayers jovially suggested that the footy landscape is surprisingly fickle, to that, yesterday, she went on a rant as if it was a literal summation of his inability to comprehend the footy landscape. Spare me, she does it often.
You might be right, but I wasnt talking about that; I was responding to this " She’s a Richmond supporter, enough said. "

David King thinks that gws should think about trading pick 2 back to Collingwood for DeGoey and to make sure that they get Daicos without an early bid.

Must think that the giants are pretty stupid. Then went on to say that thd giantsccould put coniglio in the deal for salary cap relief. WTF - pies have no cap space so why wouk they take on cogs contract.

DeGoey worth pick 2? On what planet.

He is genuinely one of the safest pundits in there, capable of saying more or less what he wants at any given time with no kickback or repercussions, because he's in a completely unique position.

He's required to make intelligent sounding observations that do not need to last beyond the end of the broadcast. Nothing more.

He’s been hanging out with Terry Wallace the list manager
 
Any of her ire saved for Liddle or Lloyd? She'd know Liddle through the Tigers and sits next to Lloyd's brother. If those guys truly have an anvil over their head waiting to drop, they'd be good candidates.

I can't see the board leaking at this stage. None were forced out.

So either those two or a player but I'm not sure the players have been given the full review findings that aren't all relevant to them.
yes, I agree entirely with this analysis of the situation as it appears on its face.

Thoughts with Buzz his family & loved ones. :'(






Hoping the club and past players association can also help somehow with raising funds for Buzz's treatment.

Sadly I was too young/before my time to watch and appreciate the likes of him and the rest of the greats from the 70s/early 80s.



I would players like him and Mike Fitzpatrick are a big reason why we have such a massive WA Fanbase.

Must have been so fun for those lucky enough to have watched him play live.

Keep fighting the good fight Buzz, I certainly will be chipping in what I can to help him beat this horrible disease.
 
What does that even mean '...Untold damage with the coach' ??
Independent mid season review determined coach had lost 50%+ support/confidence of playing group. Teague failed.
Sayers gave Teague a 10 week test. Get more W's. Teague failed.

Teague asked to see contents of review after final round. Sayers respected his wishes. Gave Teague opportunity to respond to review. Then say goodbye.
Idea that Teague was held hostage and humiliated at Ikon Park for 72 hrs by Sayers and a ruthless Carlton board, is :horseface::poo:

Gary has a fair idea about doing untold damage to a club given he was part of the selection process that appointed Mark Neeld
 
Gerard thinks Ross the Boss is a done deal.

“he says he knocked it back because he’d already reached the conclusion it would be Ross Lyon”

He knocked it back not Fox Footy

So the guy who you want to be on your election committee already decided who was the right man -- great you got his opinion for free 👍🏻
 
No one cares what Garry thinks..
What would he know about how a good club should operate..

I think when you see comments of this nature, it’s always good to keep in mind the herd mentality that prevails among the footy commentariat. They’re hardly the most diverse group and they love to agree with each other and feel comfortable in the safety provided by being part of the tribe.

So with this in mind - Carlton are the easiest target in the league at this moment. They can throw out lines like “Teague was treated terribly” and no one is going to challenge them. Even though Carlton have explained the timeline - which seems to be the reason for people believing the treatment was terrible - the herd mentality is such that they just can’t compute it. They also can’t seem to remember they themselves slaughtered Teague on a weekly basis because now the herd dictates that we’re in the “Teague is a great bloke” part of the cycle, of course it’s just NOW they’ve all remembered that a human being is involved. And of course instead of a bit of self-reflection on whether they could have been done anything differently, it’s easier to throw it all on the club.

Anyway I’ve gone on too long but basically at this point in time, where they might laud exactly the same actions from a club they consider successful as ‘decisive, ruthless’ - they’ll slaughter Carlton because it’s what the herd is reinforcing as a safe position.

Gav, I think the interview questions might’ve given it away:

Q1/ Icebreaker question - why do you want the job.

Q2/ Do you think you could do as good job than say a Ross Lyon.

Q3/ Ross is a pretty good coach, don’t you think.

Q4/ Have you coached any AFL teams to a grand final.

Q5/ Optional question - only if applicant hasn’t walked out yet....
